Question

The population of a town with an initial population

of 75,000 grows at a rate of 3.7% per year. What
will the population be in 5 years? In 10 years?

Answer 1

5 years = 89,940

10 years = 107, 856

Explanation:

75000 * 1.037 ^ 5 for the 5 years one

Then do the answer (89940) and times by 1.037 ^ 5. For 10 years

You do it to the power of 5 because you are adding on another 5 years
